Bomb hoax at Assam Bhawan

NEW DELHI: A phone call claiming that a bomb had been planted at Assam Bhawan led the police to search the premises at Chanakyapuri here on Thursday. However, the call was declared a hoax after no explosives were found.

Around 2-30 p.m., a receptionist at Assam Bhawan received an anonymous call claiming that a bomb was going to explode inside the building. The bomb detection and disposal squads searched the entire premises, but no bomb was found. A case has been registered at the Chanakyapuri police station and efforts are on to trace the caller.
